1t is best to clean lamps the first thing
in the morning after the dishes are out OF
the way. The scissors for trimming the
wicks should be very sharp and had bet.
ter be kept for this purpose alone. Lift
up the cap and cut oil the wick close to
the fiat tube through which it passes; it
will then be sure to be straight. Then
turn it up little and trim off the cor
ners slightly, so that it will not flare up
on ca h side of the fame. Once in q
while wash out the bowel of the lamp to
clear it of all sediment that may cling to
the bottom. After washing the chimney
in warm soapsuds rinse 1t in clear water,
otherwise, it is claimed, it will be more
apt TO break. The chimney shou be
allowed to heat gradually before turning
the fame up very high.
Cloths which are used to wipe oil from
lamps should be burned. Do not put
them away thinking to use them again.
They are generally kept in close place,
and in such case are generally in dan.
ger of firing the house. Some of the
mysterious fires, the cause of which no
one knows, might be traced to this very
practice.

Preparing and Spinning Flax.

Flax gives us two classes Of yarn,
namely, linen or line yarn and tow yarn.
The processes of preparing linen yarn
are very similar TO those of preparing
worsteds of course, the machines are
different in their construction, because OF
the difference in the length and character
of the fibre. Flax is hacked, - beat or
crushed to make it flexible; it is then
''scutched," an operation equivalent TO
combiug. In some cases the tibres are
too long to work; they are then broken
by saw" After the scutching thu
short fbres are carded for ''tou" yarn in
the same manner as the "noil, - or short
ibres Of wool after combipg, are oardsd

Family Stock From Bones and Meat.
II the family is small the bones may be
kept for week, or until sufficient have
accumulated, by baking them thoroughly
after the meat is removed; all bits Of
glistle, fag ends of steak (well rinsed in
boiling water if smoky from broiling)
and chicken bones or giblets help the
stock. Break the bones as small as you
can, small machine comes for the pur-
pose, but hatchet and block of wood
Will answer. Cover the bones with
water, and teaspoonful of salt to each
two quarts, and let them stew from six
to eight hours. If the bones have Welded
all their nutritive qualities, they will look
dry and chalky; if they are still, after
long cooking, semi-opaque and greasy,
they are not completely exhausted; stew
still longer.

A PRINCES Costume.

The Prince of Wales when he took
his morning draughts at the Homburg
springs puzzled beholders with an
amazing costume. 1t was made ap-
parently out of snuf-coIored blanket,
delicately set off by red silk handker-
chief tied around his neck, so as to show
above the collar ''thin, red line" This
striking costume was based on tan
leather shoes and crowned by a light
gray felt Tyrolean hat. A white Pomer-
anian dog followed at his heels His
invariable salutatlon TO his feminine ac-
quaintances was "Are you drinking the
WAtahE this morning" -SaratOgiaH.

Lodi, and who had raised the fruit in old

The prevalence of scarlet fever in all
parts Of the civilized world, and the great
mortality therefrom, amounting in En-
gland alone, during five years, to ss, 978
deaths, have induced Science TO institute
On inquiry into the reasons for such a
condition of things, whether it is a fact
that this disease is not amenable to con-
troll by sanitation, or whether sanitarians
have not suggested any practical method
by which it may be controlled, or
whether parents, teachers, health au-
thorities and Others neglect to carry out
the recommendations which sanitary
sciehee has made.

DR.. Barnado, a London philanthropist,
has obtained 1000 acres of land in north
western Canada, which he hopes to con-
vert into an industrial farm to which
homeless London boys may be sent. 1t
is said that DIR. Barnardo has had much
success with this class of boys, his idea
being to give them practical training
that will render them self supporting.
He does comparatively little toward re-
lieving their immediate wants.

RA1Es OF ADVERTISING.
HER SINGING.

Her voice rose like the rising lark,
And scared into the skies;
To me the stars left heaven dark,
And gathered in her eyes.
The trembling air in music broke,
And quivered into bells;
The mocking bird in envy woke;
The sea despised its shells
The ripping wavelet softly flows,
And whispers tc the shore;
The perfume of the sleeping rose
Seems sweeter than before.
A breeze drinks up the fairy sound
And sighs it through the air;
! saw a star slide TO the ground,
The better still to hear.
Sosilvery soft it seemed to me,
So tremulously sweet,
Ilonged to fall upon my knee
And worship at her feet.
Methought 'twould be a happy thing
No more a sound to hear,
So those melodious tones might ring
Forever in my ear.
